Hello everyone. I am a twenty-four-year-old girl. Everything started two years ago, with a pain in my knee for which I had surgery. Afterwards the pain began in my back and now I am in pain in all of my body.
Six months ago, I was diagnosed with Sjögren's Syndrome, spondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia.
Some doctors told me that now I could not live without pain, so I must be making it up?
